FAQ

  • What is the difference between the 4th grade bundle and the 5th grade bundle?

    Because I want to provide teachers the resources they need to differentiate, you will see some resources can be found in both the 4th grade and the 5th grade bundle. However, the activities suggested in the planning guide are totally different to ensure vertical alignment for teachers using Science Penguin resources in both grades. The activities for each grade are specific to what the Student Expectation asks for students to do.

  • What do the planning guides include?

    The planning guide includes: Insider teaching notes, Focus TEKS, day-by-day activity recommendations, literature connections, supports, and extensions
